Evekeo online prescription

Evekeo increases neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in the brain, specifically dopamine and norepinephrine. Neurotransmitters help brain cells communicate. Norepinephrine plays a role in the body’s stress response and helps regulate sleep, alertness, and blood pressure, while dopamine is essential for movement and influences motivation, perception of reality, and the ability to experience pleasure. By increasing the availability of dopamine and norepinephrine, Evekeo helps improve focus and reduce hyperactivity and impulsivity in individuals with ADHD.

Evekeo’s effects can be felt as quickly as 45 minutes to 1 hour after taking a dose. You get rapid symptom relief, which helps manage daily activities at work, home, or school. Its effects continue for 4 to 6 hours after a dose is taken.

Evekeo is taken in tablet form and is available in 5-milligram or 10-milligram strengths. For ADHD management in adults, the starting dose is normally 10 milligrams once or twice a day. The starting dose for children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 is usually 5 milligrams once or twice daily. 

You take your first dose of Evekeo when you wake up, and your second dose, if needed, 4 to 6 hours later. 

Your provider may adjust your dose based on your response and symptom management. If your daily dose needs to be increased, your provider will have you do it gradually by adding 10 milligrams each week until you reach your. ideal maintenance dose. Children and adolescents follow the same dosing schedule as adults. But, if their daily dosage needs increased, it’s typically increased by 5 milligrams each week. The maximum daily dose for children or adults is 40 milligrams. 

If you need to stop taking Evekeo, your provider may have you decrease your dose gradually to prevent possible withdrawal symptoms.

Evekeo’s main ingredients are levoamphetamine and dextroamphetamine, known as amphetamine sulfate, and the same 2 ingredients in  Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine). But Evekeo has a formulation with a 1 to 1 ratio of 50% levoamphetamine and 50% dextroamphetamine. Adderall uses 75% dextroamphetamine and 25% levoamphetamine. There’s no research on the pros or cons of the different ratios.

Evekeo is a stimulant. Stimulants work quickly to help calm ADHD symptoms, but they can also produce side effects like insomnia or a feeling of being “high.” Stimulant medications have a higher risk of being misused or leading to dependency. 

Non-stimulants, like Strattera (atomoxetine), are less likely to be abused and can have fewer side effects associated than stimulants. It’s possible to use a stimulant and non-stimulant at the same time for ADHD treatment. 

Non-stimulants take longer to work than stimulants. For example, Strattera can take 2 to 6 weeks to be fully effective for ADHD symptom relief. Non-stimulants like Strattera and Qelbree (viloxazine) have side effects too, which can include, but aren’t limited to, dry mouth, nausea, decreased appetite, fatigue, irritability,  dizziness, and constipation.

Compared to other ADHD medications, clinicians rate amphetamines (like Evekeo) better for reducing core ADHD symptoms than atomoxetine and methylphenidate (the active in ingredient in Ritalin and other ADHD medications). But, amphetamines may be more poorly tolerated and more people discontinue them due to side effects.
